I couldn't use it because of the clearance of the larger oil filter wouldn't allow for the ratchet to fit to that style filter wrench.

It would perform flawlessly on an filter relocation set up or the smaller diameter OEM oil filter ...

It's set-up for a wrench to,a flex head ratcheting wrench should work,or i think a little 3/8" socket lever or breaker bar would all work better then a ratchet.

Yrs ago I have one similar, I would work, But I never used it as it always took 2 hands and too much space, My go to was the giant channel lock pliers , or a Vic-grip chain wrench .
Simple is usally better.

You only need a filter wrench on the first oil change, after that you put the oil filter on so no need./ but it is cool
